Oddly enough, I will be celebrating my birthday all around the actual day of my birthday. I celebrated with work on Wednesday, I celebrated with friends and family last night, and I am celebrating with my parents as we leave for Charleston, NC tomorrow. With nothing planned for today, I will be spending it in a way that anyone who knows me knows I am perfectly content with – reading my book with a cup of hot tea and my dog at my feet.

I am also spending this free time to reflect on twenty-four years of life. I have definitely grown as an individual and created an amazing circle of supporters in my life. I have decided to finally chase some dreams and have definitely trained my eyes on some major goals. So, with this reflection in mind, I have decided to list the 24 things I am most grateful for in my life.
